Do you envy the tattoos of others because of the way they look during summer? Then it is possible that they must have been doing some maintenance work on them. Getting your dream tattoo is just as important as the method you will be adopting for your Tattoo Summer skincare. It has become really important given the fact that tattoos are likely to fade out most especially during the first few months that they are executed on your skin.

You need to learn the best Tattoo Summer skincare methods so that you can be envied by others around you. These tips are so easy that anybody can apply them and see the results. However, for best results, it is advised that you are consistent with them. Some of them will be explained below.

Stay Away from Water

If you want your tattoo to stand the test of time, then let this be number one among your Tattoo Summer skincare methods. In your first 2 – 3 weeks of having your tattoo on your skin, you are not supposed to go to the water. Its simple avoid the hot tubs and showering for some time. If by any chance soap happens to get on your tattoo, wash it off immediately.

Always Cover It

In the first 4 weeks of your tattoo, it will be wise for you not to expose it the sun. This is because your tattoo can be easily bleached whenever it is exposed to the sun. Its UV rays can easily penetrate the tattoo. Tattoo summer skincare is very vital in this regards that once you miss it, you may regret it because an exposure to the sun may make the colors to start appearing as black.

Don’t Touch It When It Shows Signs of Wanting to Peel Off

This can be really disturbing most especially when it is your first time of having a tattoo on your skin. What you are advised to do here is to leave it as such is normal and will heal within a very short period of time. Even if are you feeling like its scratching you, don’t touch it because you may remove some of the designs.

Preparing for a tattoo during the summer months does require special care and planning. Skincare is especially important during these months because people tend to spend much more time outdoors in the sun.

A rule of thumb is to avoid spending excessive amounts of time outside before and after your tattoo appointment without sunscreen to avoid burning the skin. A tattoo artist will not be able to tattoo sunburnt skin due to the damage done to the skin. Avoiding tanning beds for at least 2 weeks prior to your tattoo is also important. Tanning beds, just as the sun, emit a UV light that reacts with the ink of the tattoo causing it to fade the ink, therefore making it necessary to avoid them after being tattooed as well.

If you need to spend time outdoors, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends to wear clothing that covers your tattoo, or to apply a SPF 30 or greater sunscreen liberally to preserve the quality of your tattoo. Avoid swimming in chlorinated or salt water for a period of three weeks while your tattoo is healing as well. Each of these are important to keep the skin from drying out, and to ensure the tattoo heals correctly.

"I can say without reservation Gabe Ripley's webinar, and the information presented, was one of the keystones to my career choices and direction the last year. I often quote much of what I learned not only to others, but to myself as well as a reminder to stay on track. I've taken the webinar twice and will purchase it if ever made available on dvd. I can't recommend it highly enough."

"I have been happily associated with TattooNow.com for many many years now and finally gave up control over myself built web site and had these experienced tattoo related web builders put together a kick ass new site. I am linked in with many of the popular networking sites like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and even have several language translation options available for foreign countries. They make it easy to update the images and info yourself any time you feel the need and I could not be happier. I am already getting much more traffic to the site and I'm picking up more clients as well. I would highly recommend them for anyone especially those in the Tattoo Industry. I will also be having them build a new site for my entire shop soon. Thank you so much TattooNow.com"

" Before commissioning TattooNow to build and host my website, I took on the daunting task of building my own sites and promoting myself through social media. When I finally came to my senses and put it in their hands, my business increased drastically and the site paid for itself in just a few short weeks. This was the start of branding myself in the body art world. My business cards, post cards and banner match my site style.
As a gallery and body art studio owner, I get solicitation calls from companies wanting to build a site or just host my existing site. I let them go through their sales pitch as I laugh on the inside. Then I show them the easy function of my site and I top off my moment with showing them how easy it is to update my site through the TattooNow interface and by showing them the countless features in the community. I send them away with their heads bowed as they cannot come close to comparing to what TattooNow offers specifically to artists. "
